Lift the lid away from you when checking mussels to prevent steam burns, and hold hot pans with dry towels to avoid hand burns.

Heat a saucepan on the stove, pour in 1 tbsp of olive oil, add the chopped shallot and finely grate 1 clove of garlic directly into the pan. Sweat for 30 seconds until shallots and garlic are translucent and softened. Add 300 g of mussels and 120 ml of dry white wine. Cover the pan with a lid, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, and give a few shakes until the mussels have opened up completely. Strain the juices directly into a large skillet, remove the mussel meat from their shells, and set aside for later.
